Law enforcement forces and localities need to work together to foster the effectiveness of their activities, Deputy PM Phuc, who is also the Head of the Steering Committee to combat smuggling, commercial fraud and counterfeit goods said at an online conference to determine the 2015 tasks for the committee on January 29.
